Nest boxes for great tits
In the Year of the Badger we would like to show all good badger videos, even retrospectively. Here is a springtime record of the peaceable doings of a badger.

The first camera record from the Soosaare badger sett. The capercaillie cock seems to feel at home here. In the first part of the video it has a late pre-lunch snooze and in the second half we can see how gravel is picked up for the crop.

The chevron
Chevron Lillakas öövaksik Eulithis testata
The chevron occurs in the whole of Estonia and is quite common. We can meet it in conifer or mixed conifer forests, thickets, gardens and elsewhere too from mid-July to the beginning of September. In the rainy weather of last weekend the moths did not of course fly much.

The golden-rod brindle is on the wing in conifer forests and moorlands from the beginning of August until the middle of September but it is not encountered very often in Estonia.
